A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
The Mining Industry OF the State

heard from almost every mining camp
10 Eastern Nevada, especially IN Elko
county. IN fact, his kind OF labor Is
in greater demand at the present writ
ing than at any time for the past ten
years. New life seems To have been
infused into many of the old mining
camps in Eastern Nevada, and towns
almost deserted year ago are now
ali life and activity. Austin, Belmont,
Tybo, Lewis, Galena. Cherry Creek,
Ophir Canyon, Hamilton and many
other smaller camps are once mo-e on
the up grade, while the old COmstock
is looming up grandIy in the lead.
Eureka shows signs Of new life, ana
Union District, on the line between
Elko aud Eureka counties, promises
TO be leading aud prosperous place
within the next six months.
But the greatest change is gradually
working around in our own prosperous
county of Elko. Second to no county
in the State, rich in minerals, with
thousands of acres of tie finest grazing
and agricultural lands on the CONT
nent, and one OF the mOst glorious
climates 10 the world, il Is county
well worthy Of praise.
The past six months have brought
many changes for the better in The
numerous mining districts in Elko.
Tuscarora takes the lead, and more
work is now being done in the mines
of that district than fO7 many years
past. All the old mines are being
operated with good results, while
many new ones are showing fine ore
bodies. 1t is confidently expected
that the mines of Tuscarora will pro-
duce more bullion during the next
two OF three years thar ever before,
and ii Is safe Ia say that TIE old camp
will see such lively times in the next
few months that they will be felt from
one end Of the State to the ether.
Navajo, North Belle Isle, Grand Prize,
Argenta, Belle Isle, Nevada Queen,
Commonwealth, Diana, and Found
Treasure are among tire leading names
found ON the stock list. and from all
reports there Is genuine and 81 bstan-
tissl merit in all of them.
To the nurth Of Tuscarora we have
Columbia, with several prosperous
lonkiDg Claims which are now being
actively worked. Then comes tue cid
COrnuc"pia district, in its day. che of
the liveliest camps on the coast Ii is
only taking nap. The mines are
there and some day in the near future
the thorn Of plenty will give forth
another stream of wealth, second only
to that of 1uscarora.
Still farther north are the districts
of Mountain City, Island Mountain
and Mardis. All three of these camps
show renewed lie and viger. The
Resurrection mine at Mountain City
is shipping some high grade ore TO
Salt Lake, and the prospects of the
camp never looked brighter.
Thirty miles south of Elko, the
mountain peaks of Railroad district
rear their heads and cast their shad-
ows over the little town of Bullion,
nestled almost at their feet. Here,
too, all is life and activity, and the
cry Is more miners wanted" Every
mine of any note is showing improve
ment, and large amount of rich ore
is being taken out and hauled to the
smelter. which will he started up in
few weeks. Everybody in the camp
looks forward to prosperous times this
Fall, and the outlook at the present
time is such as to fully justify them
in their hopeful anticipations. Rail-
road has added many dollars to the
coast and has millions left.
Sprucemont, south of Wells, is an
other promising mining district with
in the boundaries of Elko county.
The mines located there have been
turning out considerable ore, keeping
the furnaces steady employed for a
long time. A large amount of bullion
has been shipped from the camp dur
ing the past year. and the district will
again boom this Fall.
In the far eastern end of the county
we find a small, but very prosperous
camp known as Bue. 1t has a num-
Der Of very promising looking mines,
and some good ore is being shipped
for reduction. Although not often
heard of, the camp is holding its own
and adding mite towards the general
prosperity of the county.
And thus we might go on enumerat-
